Publisher's Synopsis
Four dragon dynasties. One terrible tradition. The young couple who fights to reunite dragons and humans in harmony to end that dark tradition forever.
For Crisilin, the idea of humans and dragons living in harmony with one another is nothing more than a distant dream, especially once she's forced to participate in Tynan's annual ritual. Only one Quelda is chosen every year, which might sound like an honor. In reality, it's a fate worse than death. The other three dragon dynasties of Sulaimon desire a peaceful tribute from the humans they've sworn to protect.
Tynan requires blood.
Along with her childhood sweetheart, Chalom, Crisilin must choose to embrace this cruel tradition or stand against it. However, taking a stand is no small task. Their only hope lies in seeking help from the other dragon dynasties, but reaching them means fleeing Tynan-a feat that's not only punishable by death but is so perilous that no one who's ever tried it has lived to tell the tale. First, there's the infamous Wall. Beyond that, the enchanted expanse of the Ever-White Lake.
Can Crisilin and Chalom be the first to escape and stop Tynan's ritual before it's too late? Or will the dragons of Tynan, much like its people, remain trapped in dark tradition for all time?

"This book was truly amazing. This was beautifully written from start to finish."
Darcy Stewart, Goodreads
"It was full of mystery, suspense and adventure and grabbed me from page one and held my attention throughout the story... I think fans of the Hunger Games would enjoy this book as well. It has the same elements of survival, suspense and romance. This book is much shorter though, just over 200 pages, so it's a perfect summer read!"
Shelley the Book Fanatic, Goodreads
"Full of action, adventure, and exquisite writing, Bloodmaiden is an enchanting, heart-wrenching fantasy novel that perfectly balances the darker and lighter elements that are delicately woven throughout the story... Bloodmaiden should not be overlooked."
